Saturday, March 31, 2012

Oh hello guys!
I know it's been a while since my last post here..
Today is the last day of March and tomorrow is April =)!
Did i mentioned that my lecturer came for a visit last friday aka yesterday?
Thank GOD everything goes well, no bad report...my bos actually compliment me,except for the sales thing. Well i TOLD you i cant and DON'T like to do sales okay.. hahaha but anyway thank you Mr. XXXXXX!
I'm so excited to finish my practical..my last day of practical is on the 16th of April 2012, which means i only have to go work for another 9 more days after minus Good Friday, Agong Installation day and weekend..so Fuck yeahhhhh! =) Cant wait to go KL with mr boyfie~

Okay, so back to the "main" topic. hehe.
I went to Kudat ( Mummy's Hometown)  just now with my mum and my dad for "Sao Mu" aka Tomb Sweeping for Qing Ming Jie. 
Qing Ming Jie is also known as All Souls' Day but in Chinese version.
This year Qing Ming Jie is fall on the 4th of April ( 4.4 ALERT!).
Long to short story, during the Sao Mu day, most Chinese families will visit their ancestors graveyard,cleaning the tomb and they will usually bring some offering like flowers, joss stick and so on..I NEVER BEEN to any Sao Mu before, only today because my mum forced me to go with her =( i woke up at 4.15AM..if i did go clubbing last night, i think 430am baru pulang after stay2. haha
According to my Mum,aunty2,my colleagues..they said this year Qing Ming Jie (4/4/2012) the ghosts very fierce? haha don't know what they really meant by that, i think they refer to bad day,bad luck on that day.so guys becareful.
So I'm actually a Christian...
But my great grandfather( Ah Pak) and Grandfather ( Kung Kung) are Buddhist.
I actually lazy want to go Kudat this morning, but my mum want me to friend her go there..so i just go and pay respect to my Ah Pak & Kung2.
So yeah, i didn't do anything there except pay respect to my late kung2 and ah Pak..
Some kids came to us and offer to help us, have to pay them la of cause. it's only 8 plus and one thing for sure, KUDAT IS SO SUNNY!
After that, we went to Kudat Town, Kedai Kopi Hap Hing to eat Breakfast and met my Kiu Kiu ( Uncle)..the food was normal la. don't really like the noodles. Then before headed back to KK, my mum dropped by to my Kiu Poh's shop =)
Fried noodles and Kon Lau Men.
Kudat is also one of the famous hotspot in Sabah. Tourists love to come here and visit the Tips Of Borneo at Simpang Mengayau. Besides that, hmm..i don't know what else to visit if you come to Kudat, it's just a small town with beautiful white sand beach....

haha oh before i forgot, if you come to Kudat, don't forget to buy some Peanuts and Rice biscuit, very famous in Kudat! I bought some for my boyfriend too =) so yeah, i think that's all..do check out the picture! You can get the food from the Market.


Bi Pang aka Rice Biscuits! The best is from Kudat!
From the left to right, Beras Putih ( White rice), Beras Kuning ( Yellow rice) and Beras Pulut Hitam (Black Glutinous rice). 
The white & yellow BiPang costs RM1.80 each and Black BiPang costs RM2.50 each.
The difference between these rice biscuits is the hardness of the biscuit. 
It can be varies depending on what type of rice used.
Don't forget to to buy this too! You can get this at RM5 or RM10 each, depending on size.
